Ponderable

His religion is irrelevant. His team/school has a rule that players not shoot baskets during the national anthem. Perhaps it was abit more, no one on the court thus no warming up. Whatever. It's they're rule, and undoubtedly based in large or entirely on concept of a moment of national pause to honor the flag, our symbol of the nation's many virtues.

The player disobeyed the rule, and was kicked off team. Assuming a fair system of administrative proceeding took place, and his apology was a mitigating factor (if presented by the time of such hearing) then it appears justice was done.

My opinion. On an opinion forum on random subjects. The subject was raised by another poster. I suspect to illicit opinions.

Here's a picture of the " Muslim " Rasool Samir....The ungrateful disrespectful foreign born student/Basketball player.


" Samir was confronted on the court by longtime fan Jim Howard, who said he told the player to "respect the flag or leave." Both sides agree that a security guard eventually intervened and escorted Samir to the locker room, where head coach Brady Trenkle told Samir to return to his dorm.


Instead, the college contends, Samir followed the team onto the floor and yelled at the coach, threatening to fight him, and responded with an obscenity when Trenkle told him to leave. The school said it was unclear why Samir didn't join his teammates in the locker room as required after pre-game workouts.

The ACLU said Samir was told by an assistant coach he didn't need to return to the locker room because he was recovering from an injury and wouldn't be playing in the game. The school confirmed Sami was a medical hardship redshirt athlete. "

Bonds said the ACLU was still gathering information and deciding whether to sue, noting that the school's athletic director had given conflicting reports to local media about whether Samir had left on his own accord or was dismissed due to a violation of team rules.

Athletic Director John Green did not respond to phone and email messages from the AP seeking comment. Samir hung up when called by the AP for comment and did not respond to a text message.

In a letter to the ACLU, Grisell said it was unfortunate Samir reacted the way he did on Nov. 1, and that he would still be a member of the basketball team were it not for his conduct toward the head coach. Grisell later told the AP: "The conduct of the student athlete after he left the floor and the fact that he wasn't in the locker room when the national anthem was taking place were the basis for his dismissal from the team."

Howard, the 74-year-old fan who confronted Samir, said he has been attending ball games at the school for 32 years. He said teams routinely stay in the locker room during the national anthem and come out a few minutes after the anthem ends. Howard said he did not touch Samir, but the two exchanged words.

"I just told him to respect the flag or leave — that I had the right to listen to my national anthem and respect the flag without him out there playing. And if he couldn't handle that then he should leave and get off the court," Howard told the AP in a phone interview.

The college said the encounter between Samir and Howard was still under investigation by local law enforcement.

Try a shorter opposing point of view. One your compatriots endorse.

I disagree.

You used "they're" incorrectly.
 
The nincompoops must really miss the now defunct socalopinion forum. By the time it died, there were only six conservatives and espola left.

Here, the snowflakes keep reproducing and ridiculing their hypocrisy daily.
 
Boo hoo hypocrite.
Are you sure you understand what "hypocrite" means? You had 24 hours to find any post of mine that met that criteria, but failed to post one that met the definition.

Example: a President has 20 accusers to support his uncontroverted video statements of being a sexual predator AND demonstrating such conduct toward a 10 year old girl. Then brags about regularly doing so on audio tape. Stays silent for a week while 9 accusers of a Senate candidate from his party who was literally banned from malls for trawling teenagers, signed one's yearbook, molested a 14 girl, and then attacks a Democrat Senator who admitted his own reprehensible conduct, apologized, and apology was accepted by his victim.
